Dartmouth men's basketball players end attempt to unionize

[NT80]

BOSTON -- The Dartmouth men's basketball team dropped its attempt to form a union Tuesday, voluntarily ending a push to become the first college sports team to unionize in order to avoid a potentially damaging precedent from a National Labor Relations Board that soon will be controlled by Republicans.

"Athletes in the Ivy League are not employees," the school said in March, calling them "students whose educational program includes athletics."

This makes me really hate sports. It’s out of control.
